Retro UPN Moment of the Week

In 2003, UPN launched Veronica Mars, one of the best shows ever to grace the small screen, but unfortunately, despite its brilliance, is still relatively unknown even after its three season run on UPN and the CW.

I aim to change that, this will not be the last time I attempt to convince the world that Veronica Mars is the best thing since sliced bread. Just eeking ahead of Battlestar Galactica and Buffy, Veronica Mars has managed to land at the top of my all time favorite TV list. With it's amazing funny, witty, and intelligent dialogue, incredibly complex story lines, and realistic portrayal of teen angst and our class society, I'm a total sucker for this teen show slash detective drama thats been called "a little bit Buffy and a little bit Bogart" by USA Today. Number one fan, Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly) called it "the funniest and most romantic show on TV" in his review of the season one dvd box set which can be read at EW.com

I ask for a measly 3 minutes of your time to check out the following preview, though taped off the screen at Comicon, it is the best trailer I've ever seen for the show and if this doesn't make you the slightest bit intrigued then I'm not sure what's wrong with you:



Alright, alright, I'm done, but I implore you to check out the pilot and see what you think for yourself, I promise you won't regret it.

Retro WB/UPN Moment of the Week

If you are a Buffy fan you can relate to the pain I feel every time I hear "Goodbye to You" by Michelle Branch. Her appearance on the show at the end of "Tabula Rosa" (608) is one of my all time favorite Buffy moments and is definitely one of the more heart breaking Buffy scenes ever:

And to add to the heartbreak, because really once you've ripped your heart out why not stomp on it a little bit too? This horrible moment (it's worse than tragic or heart crushing or any other apocalyptic word you can think of if you were a Buffy/Angel fan) is from the Angel episode "I Will Remember You" (108):



Mmm now wasn't that fun? Excuse me I need to go wallow and look up shipper vids...
